Modi Faces Setback as India's 2024 Election Results Unfold

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the recent election but with a significantly reduced mandate, securing only 240 seats and falling short of a majority in the lower house of parliament. This outcome forces Modi to rely on coalition partners for the first time in his decade-long rule, raising questions about his ability to govern effectively. The BJP's weaker performance, particularly in key states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, signals voter dissatisfaction with Modi's governance and Hindu nationalist agenda. The opposition, led by the Indian National Congress and its allies, made substantial gains, marking a significant shift in India's political landscape.
